You are listening to the Darren O'lean Show. I'm Darren. I've spent the last 15 years

exploring the planet looking for healthy foods, super foods, environmental solutions, and have had my mind blown along the way by the people,

we have to, even though those things are negatively affecting us and in some cases slowly

destroying us and even killing us. Every week I have honest conversations with

people that inspire me. My hope is through their knowledge and

unique perspectives they'll inspire you to. Together we'll explore how you can

make small tweaks in your life that amount to big changes for you, the people around you, and the planet.

Stephen has been working in Costa Rica for all these years.

He's been gathering botanicals, fruits, nuts, trees, herbs from all of the world and growing them and teaching his

permaculture classes which I think while this is out will just be starting
